I must say that ever since I started stuffing my own, I am saving a fortune in taxes, and I find that I don't actually smoke as much. It's a win-win for me. :-)

Same here, Rika! I find if I am down to my last 2, and I am busy with something else, I put off smoking them until I can find time to roll up another batch. So it really is a win-win situation.

And a year ago this past June is when I started rolling our owns, and the money we had saved for Christmas was mind-boggling. I wish we could get the word out all across the United States for all the smokers. "Hey! Save money for Christmas, Smokers!" heh!

I'm with the two of you. I smoke far less than I used too do - actually I burn up less leaving them sitting in the ashtray while I'm typing or doing something else. They don't have all the excess additives to keep them burning, etc. Again, because of a lack of the excess additives there is no linger "stale smoke odor." My SIL, who is very sensitive to all types of smoke, not just tobacco has no adverse reaction to this tobacco.

She's not an anti and is also honest that it is ALL smoke not just tobacco that occasionally causes her difficulties, but the funny thing is she actually enjoys the smell of tobacco - says it reminds her of her father. she also likes a charcoal broiled steak and the smell of burning leaves!!!!

As to the savings by making our own - they just improved around here. The price of the tobacco we use has just been reduced to $3.89 a 6.1oz bag, which makes a carton and the local tobacco shop has a new line of tubes for 99cents. A carton of cigarettes is now costing us less than $5.00.
